SeamlessWeb Helps You Order Takeout or Delivery Anywhere

SeamlessWeb will automatically pinpoint your location for you, find nearby restaurants that are open and accepting digital orders for takeout or delivery, and let you place an order instantly.

If you have an iPhone, Android phone, or even a BlackBerry, you can order food on the go with SeamlessWeb. The app currently serves 14 cities around the continental United States, and if you're visiting or live in one of the supported cities, the app will automatically pinpoint your location for you, find nearby restaurants that are open and accepting digital orders for takeout or delivery, and let you place an order instantly.

SeamlessWeb works a lot like local delivery services like Delivery.com and GrubHub, but makes the process a bit easier, especially if you're out of town and looking for something to eat.

The app uses your phone's GPS to figure out where you are and what's available to you in your current location, and the app makes it easy to browse the menus of restaurants near you, select what you'd like to eat, and then order your food for takeout or delivery.

SeamlessWeb is completely free and available now in the Android App Market, the iTunes App Store, and the BlackBerry App World. The app is free for all platforms, and currently supports 14 cities, including Los Angeles, Washington, DC, some parts of New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and more. The service plans to expand to additional cities soon, but if you're currently located in one of the supported locations, you can use the app now.

The app allows you to easily choose between delivery and takeout, so you don't get halfway through an order only to learn that the location only accepts takeout orders and you're halfway across town. SeamlessWeb started as a Web service, and the new mobile apps integrate those accounts with your mobile device.

You can save orders and restaurants as favorites and quickly re-order from them with a few taps. You can also save your credit card information through the app so you don't have to find an ATM before your food arrives. SeamlessWeb even tells you the average wait and delivery times for the restaurants that you're browsing, so you know when your food will arrive.

SeamlessWeb isn't the first or the only company to play in this space: GrubHub recently launched iOS and Android apps, SnapFinger has been around for a while, and a number of restaurants have their own apps for delivery or takeout orders. Even so, when it comes to ordering food without having to speak to anyone, more variety is better.
